Hi everybody,
I know this problem has already been discussed many times in this forum, and I have read through all posts but could not find a solution to my problem.
My Trados toolbar has suddently disappeared from Word. I can still see the menu, the icon, and the Trados.dot box is checked, but no toolbar.

My Trados toolbar has suddently disappeared from Word. I can still see the menu, the icon, and the Trados.dot box is checked, but no toolbar.
At least, I have found the cause of this, thanks to a link provided by Ralf (thanks!). Apparently, it happened because I manually closed a footnote window. Unfortunately, the advice given on this link were not successful (or maybe I did not apply them correctly? My knowledge of computing is limited and I need some basic - or detailed - information).
Does anybody have a solution for this?
Thanks in advance

Hi Florence,
Maybe this works:
- In MS Word, right-click on the grey area, where "File", "Edit", "View", etc. are.
- (A pop-up menu should appear.)
- This pop-up menu has several options ("Standard", "Formatting", etc.).
- One of those options is "TW4Win".
- Select "TW4Win".
- Hopefully, the Trados toolbar will be back.
HTH,
Jerónimo

Hi Jerónimo,
Thanks for your help, but I have already tried that (and forgot to mention it). The problem is that "TW4Win" does not appear in the pop-up menu!
Thanks anyway, I'll have to find another solution!

so try this:
in http://sdl.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/sdl.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php?p_sid=7e7Rux2i&p_accessibility=0&p_lva=&p_sp=&p_li=
SYMPTOMS
* No Translator's Workbench toolbar appears when you start Word.
* More than one toolbar appears when you start Word.
EXPLANATION
The Translator's Workbench toolbar is attached to Word when Word is launched with the global Translator's Workbench template TRADOS7.dot which by default resides in the Word Startup folder. Only one such template file should be in the Word Startup folder. If the file is not there, then the Translator's Workbench toolbar will not appear in Word. If there is more than one, multiple toolbars will appear.
STEPS
1. Close Word and Translator's Workbench.
2. Click Start and choose Search->Files or Folders to locate the Translator's Workbench template file TRADOS7.dot.
3. There should be only two of these files on your system:
* One is in the Translation Tools installation folder (C:\Program Files\Trados\T7_xxx\TT\Templates)
* The other is in the Word Startup folder(s), C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Startup by default. If you have Word 2000 or later running on Windows 2000 or later, the template may also be located in the user-dependent Startup location C:\Documents and Settings\(your user name)\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP.
* If you don't see Application Data folder in your Documents and Settings, it is because this folder if hidden. To make it visible go to Tools - Folder Options in Windows Explorer and in View tab check the Show hidden files and folders radio button.
4. Delete all the occurrences of TRADOS7.dot except those in the Translation Tools installation folder and the Word Startup folder.
* If TRADOS7.dot file is not found in C:\Documents and Settings\(your user name)\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP folder, copy it there from C:\Program Files\Trados\T7_xxx\TT\Templates folder.
5. Restart Word. Only one toolbar should appear.
If, after the above procedure, the Translator's Workbench toolbar is still not present in Word, check the Word Startup folder location as follows:
1. In Word, go to Tools->Options and click on the File Locations tab.
2. Select the Startup item. The path to the right tells you the Startup folder location on your system. You can also click Modify to see the full path.
3. Copy the TRADOS7.dot template to this location.
4. Close and relaunch Word. The TRADOS7.dot template should be automatically activated.

KnowHow: No Trados toolbar or menu appear in Word
Environment: MS Word 2000, MS Word 2003, MS Word XP (2002)
SYMPTOMS
When Microsoft Word is launched, it has no Trados toolbar or menu.
EXPLANATION
TRADOS Translator's Workbench is connected to Word via the global template file TRADOS7.dot. If the template resides in the Word Startup folder, the Trados toolbar and menu will appear in Word automatically on every startup. If the file is not there, then the Trados toolbar and menu will not appear in Word.
STEPS
1. Close Word and Translator's Workbench.
2. Open Windows Explorer and go to the Tools - Folder Options... - View tab. Select Show hidden files and folders. Click OK to save the changed settings.
3. Highlight Local Disk (C:), click the Search button and search for the file TRADOS7.dot.
4. Typically only two instances of this file will be found:
* in the Trados installation folder C:\Program Files\Trados\T7\TT\Templates
* in the user-dependent Word Startup folder C:\Documents and Settings\(your user name)\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP.
5. If the file TRADOS7.dot is missing in the Word Startup folder, copy it there from the Trados installation folder.
6. Start Word. The Trados toolbar and menu should again be visible now.
7. If they are still not there, go to Tools - Templates and Add-Ins... in Word. The TRADOS7.dot file should be listed and checked. If not you can click Add... to add it from the TRADOS installation folder or Word's startup folder.
8. For more information on setting up the interface between TRADOS and Word see TRADOS-Word Interface in chapter 7 of the Translator's Workbench User Guide. For more information on Word template handling, refer to Word's online help. ▲ Collapse

Well, I have tried this solution twice, and the Word toolbar is indeed reset but the Trados toolbar still doesn't appear!
What else can I do?

PS : now at least, I know how to avoid this problem in the future. Thanks!

| Trados template OK? | Mar 16, 2006 |
Is or isn't there the Trados7.dot file in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\(your user name)\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP?
You may have to change your system settings to show you hidden files to get to that folder, by the way.

Yes, the dot file is there.
By the way, I haven't specified that I'm using Trados 6, does that make any difference?

e
Not really.
Now, open the Word:
(1) Go Tools, Templates and Add-Ins... - there should be TRADOS6. dot and the square field to the left of this title should be checked – check it if it isn't
(2) Now, View, Toolbars - is there an item "TW4Win" and is it checked?

Yes, the Trados6.dot file is there and checked, and the TW4Win item is still missing from the pop-up Toobar menu.
I feel like I've done everything possible and it still doesn't work. Bizarre...
| | | |
| A few things to try | Mar 16, 2006 |
(1) Tools-Macro-Macros, select AutoExec.Main, hit the "Run" button
Can you see the flagman icon on your Standard toolbar now or after this procedure? Clicingon theis icon should toggle the toolbar on/off
(2) What other templates are there in the C:\Documents and Settings\(your user name)\Application
Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP folder?

TOPIC STARTER | Icon is there | Mar 16, 2006 |
I could already see the Icon and when I click on the Icon, the Menu appears, so I can use Trados through the menu, but do not have the toolbar itself.
And I have only the Trados.dot file in the Word Startup file.
